Praise God for the Maiwa New Testament dedication in April! Another 1400+ people of Papua New Guinea have God's Word in their heart language!

When we say “heart language”, we mean the language that speaks to the heart. The language a person hears their mother speak, the language they learned as a child, the language a person uses with those most close to them.

You might wonder, “Wouldn’t evangelism just be easier if everyone learned English?” Well, think about it…. I’m going to insert a verse from a language in the same branch as English. See if you can figure out which verse it is.

So did you pick it up that time? Some of the words sound familiar didn’t they? No? OK, how about….

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”

So now you know it is John 3:16. Can you imagine having to learn German or Tok Pisin to read the Bible for your spiritual nourishment? I can’t. That’s why we’re in Papua New Guinea supporting the work of Bible translation.
